AdRotate uses a dashboard similar to WordPress so you can familiarize yourself with its features in minutes.

Inserting ads on your WordPress website is easy with AdRotate. Just copy the shortcode that the plugin generates and then choose where to display the ad on any section of your website.

Maybe you maintain multiple ad networks so your ads come in different sizes and need to be slotted in different locations? AdRotate makes it simple, just use the plugin’s grouping feature to keep track of your ads together.

Other features:

Easy installation

Multiple ads in a single grid, column or row

Simple ad analytics reporting for easier reference and analysis

Compatible with responsive ads

Geo-targeting function for every country

Works with many ad servers including DFP, Doubleclick and Google AdSense

Advanced Ads’ ad management capability allows you to rotate ads on the same spot, add an advertisement slider for better visibility, import and export existing ads from/to another site, and control the layout.

Connecting with an AdSense account is also helpful when using this plugin for policy compliance and automatic conversion to AMP.

You can track ad impressions, clicks and other data, and report them via email or by sharing a URL.

This plugin was developed as a replacement for the once popular Quick AdSense plugin. The former did not have any updates for almost a decade and the Ads & AdSense Plugin WP QUADS plugin became a better solution.

Aside from its quick AdSense integration for WordPress sites, this plugin also features AMP support, more ad layout options, and improved caching power.

You’ve probably encountered ads that are revealed after hovering your mouse on a peeled page corner of a webpage. It’s likely that the Corner Ad plugin was used to make these minimalist ads.

This plugin is often used for announcements and special offers that first appear partially on a webpage. Because there’s movement on the page when you hover your mouse, the ad attracts a user’s attention effectively.

Other features:

Ad effectiveness reporting

Ad displays in the left-top corner of the page (Free version) or any top corner (Professional version)

Ad management is made much easier by WP125 – its ad scheduling feature makes it convenient to set the duration of ad display.

While its analytics reporting is a bit basic, it generates enough data to help you determine which ads are doing well.

Other features:

Two-column ad display option

Unlimited ad display

Placeholder for empty ad slot

Price: Free
